For Virginians, home is not only a place, but a state of mind. This collection of postcards from home—Wythe, Smyth, Grayson, and Washington Counties—will deeply touch the spirits of the people of this beloved region of Virginia.
The over 150 vintage images presented here bring to life the stories behind the things, places, and people that family legends are made of, covering the period from the 1900s to the 1960s. We visit places our grandparents told us about by the fireside, and places that are still familiar to us today.
Readers are invited to rediscover Abingdon’s historic Barter Theater, Union Station in Bristol, the legend of Molly Marley in Marion, the Shot Tower in Wythe County, and the Cobblestone House in Volney, and learn who Washington County is really named for—all while retracing the steps of the past four generations.
